Payroll Giving

Give as You Earn is a scheme that enables employees to donate to any UK charity straight from their gross salary (before tax is deducted) meaning that you receive immediate tax relief. This means that a monthly donation of £10 straight out of your payroll, actually only costs you £8!

Offering Matched Giving is a powerful and popular way of encouraging employees to sign up to Payroll Giving.

Your company can make donations that match the contributions of your staff - potentially doubling the money that will help train more assistance dogs for people with disabilities nationwide.

Imagine the scene! A balmy English summer’s evening on the immaculate cricket lawns of sunny Sussex overlooking a fairy tale castle, with puppies a-gambolling and Pimms a-flowing… this pretty much describes our event last night at Arundel Castle Cricket Ground, courtesy of our wonderful host Lady Mary, aka Lady Herries of Terregles, and her team.Read more

Canine Partners’ Leicestershire Training Centre

Canine Partners needs to raise £3.1million to build a second Training Centre in
order to train more dogs and change more lives.

We have purchased a site in a village called Osgathorpe, halfway between Ashby-de-la-Zouch
and Loughborough, which has a range of barns, outbuildings and associated land.
The plan is to replace the barns and adapt some of the outbuildings to create the
specialised buildings we need.

Having a Midlands Training Centre will not only increase our output, it will also
make the charity far more accessible for those on our waiting list who are unable
to make the long journey to our centre in West Sussex. 42% of the applications
we received last year were from people living in the mid and northern regions of
the UK. Many of our existing partnerships will also benefit from being able to
receive support from the new centre.

The site will consist of a training centre and office facilities, fully accessible accommodation and
kennelling.

This is an extremely exciting time for Canine Partners and we would be delighted
to receive your support.
